A woman in her mid-30s now stood in Yuko's shop. She had long blonde hair and was wearing all black clothing. She wore a sad expression on her face.
"Welcome to my shop." Yuko greeted the depressing woman.
"Hello." Her sad and dreary response only seemed to dampen the mood.
"This is a shop that grants wishes. So, what is your wish?" Yuko asked with a smile. The woman hesitated for a moment. "Before you make your decision, how about some tea?" Yuko offered as Maro and Moro lead the woman to a table and two chairs sitting across from each other. They sat down in silence as the twins skipped away, singing some strange song.
"Kanda!" Yuko called. Of course. She just wants to show me off like I'm some kind of prize. Kanda thought angrily. Watanuki, knowing the routine of the shop to the letter, had already prepared the tea. He silently handed the tray to the sword wielding exorcist. Despite wearing a dress, she still had Mugen strapped to her side. Kanda entered the room and delicately transferred the tea from the tray to the table. The woman stared at Kanda in awe. As if she was unsure of how to react to a beautiful girl with cat ears.
"Is there anything else you would like?" Kanda said in the most polite voice that she could muster. It just sounded like she was extremely pissed off. Which, she was. Her face mirrored her emotions.
"No. That will be all." Yuko responded. Kanda swiftly bowed and left the room. Yuko directed her attention back to woman dressed in all black. "What is your wish?" Awfully pushy. Watanuki thought.
"To bring my husband back to life." She responded. Allen and the other exorcists stiffened when they heard this.
"That is impossible. The dead can never return." The woman was ready to cry. Her eyes had become glassy. "But I can allow you to talk to him just once." She stopped the possible tears.
"Really?" She woman didn't know whether or not to believe the space time witch.
"Yes. But you must promise me something as payment."
"Anything! Just let me talk to him once more!" the woman pleaded.
"Your payment will be-"
"I don't care! Just let me talk to him!" the woman interrupted.
"Alright." Yuko gave in. "Allen! Watanuki! I need you to get me something from the treasure room." Yuko summoned the two boys and described the item that she requested.
Allen and Watanuki hauled a large decorative mirror and placed it on the table.
"Thank you." Kanda, Lavi, Lenalee, Maro, and Moro entered the room to watch. Yuko allowed her breathe to quickly fog the large mirror. Just one tiny blow caused the large mirror to fog up entirely.
"Write the name of your beloved." She instructed. The woman quickly wrote 'Mona Shinotsuke'. The mirror began to glow a soft light purple color and soon it was refogged. The woman's husband's name was no longer written in the tiny mirror.
"You only have ten minutes. Write what you want to say to him." Yuko instructed. The woman began writing furiously. Each time she wrote something, the letters would fade and new ones would replace them. The husband's spirit was talking to her. Finally, ten minutes later, the fog disappeared completely.
"Wait! Just let me have ten more minutes! Five more minutes! Even just one more minute! Please! I beg you!" The woman pleaded.
"I'm sorry. I cannot allow that." Maro and Moro quickly took the mirror away. The woman cried and tried to grab the mirror from the twins. Allen and Lavi had to hold the woman back. Tears streamed from her eyes.
"Now, for your payment. You must never go to any summoning or séances gain. You may only talk to him indirectly from his grave or during prayers. You may never make any deals in order for him to be resurrected or try to resurrect him yourself. You must move on with your life." Yuko's face was completely serious.
"How can I?!?!" the woman was crying uncontrollably.
"You must. I'm afraid that if you don't, you will lose all memories of him completely. And if you commit suicide, you will be trapped forever. Your soul will never be able to go to heaven or hell. You won't be able to see him ever again." The woman stopped crying and nodded her head. Yuko motioned for Kanda to lead the woman to the exit of the shop.
"I never knew that you could do that Yuko." Watanuki was surprised.
"Yes. But it is limited."
"How can you be sure that she'll follow those guidelines?" Allen worried. He'd seen that look in her eyes before. Within his own.
"Oh, she will. She cherishes the time that she spent with that man." Yuko assured with a smile.
